Team Challenge is the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation's new endurance training program. This exciting new fundraising program trains you to run or walk a half marathon while helping the Foundation raise funds to find a cure for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. We are now gearing up for our next season, and have informational sessionals coming up where interested Long Islanders can learn more about the program, meet their coaches, and get started.

We're Heading to Vegas! Get the ultimate tour of Las Vegas with Team Challenge, the official charity of the Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas Half Marathon (December 5, 2010).
